This book comprises a searching philosophical meditation on the evolution of the humanities in recent decades, taking Dante studies as an exemplary specimen. The contemporary currents of theory have decisively impacted this field, but Dante also has a strong relationship with theology. The idea that theology, teleology, and logocentric rationalities are simply overcome and swept away by new theoretical approaches proves much more complex as the theory revolution is exposed in its crypto-theological motives and origins. The revolutionary agendas and methodologies of theoretical currents have ushered in all manner of minorities and postcolonial and gender studies. But the exciting adventure they inaugurate shows up in quite a surprising light when brought to focus through the scholarly discipline of Dante studies as a terrain of dispute between traditional philology and postmodern theory. On this terrain, negative theology can play a peculiarly destabilizing, but also a conciliatory, role: it is equally critical of all languages for a theological transcendence to which it nevertheless remains infinitely open.
Spend a night or a week at a monastery and come away filled with the essence of Italy, its history, art, culture, architecture and local customs. Open to all, regardless of religion, lodging at monasteries is a new travel experience based on a 2,000 year-old tradition of hospitality.
The essays that compose this book turn around aesthetic and ethical questions, intertwining the two dimensions. They are intended to elaborate an interculturalphilosophy: without idealizing any single way of thinking or any tradition, without idolizing any lazy relativism, the author wants to show how interculturalityis neither an ultimate system of thought, nor a disconnected plurality of opinions. Surmounting both monism and dualism, this work leads to deal with thephilosophical character of cultural “dribblings”, through which we can grasp the links and relations between identity and difference. As the Italian writer Italo Calvino writes in his novel The Invisible Cities, when we build an arch we cannot forget that its line is necessarily composed by the plurality of its stones. Thinkingthrough different languages and traditions aims to manifest the unspeakable ground on which all the elements of reality meet, and at the same time it aims to caretheir contingency.
This book seeks to give form to a theology that hyphenates two traditions that have not only been in constant conflict during most of their historical encounters but are also presented as opposite blocks in the threatening 'clash of civilizations' at the beginning of the third millennium: Islam and Christianity. Based on experiences of dialogue between the three Abrahamic faiths, this book analyzes historical and contemporary processes of interreligious dialogue between Christians and Muslims in order to arrive at a concept of dialogue as 'mutual emulation.' It shows how, in their theologies of religious others, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have based their images of others on their self-...
In questa nostra epoca frenetica e dominata dalla velocità sembrano quasi un controsenso, o forse una sfida: sono i luoghi del raccoglimento, del silenzio, della meditazione. Luoghi dove si ritrova se stessi, ci si ricarica di energia, si recupera l’armonia interiore messa a dura prova dalla convulsa e stressante vita quotidiana. In Italia di questi luoghi di raccoglimento e di meditazione ce ne sono tanti: nelle città, nelle campagne, sulle colline, in montagna, in riva al mare, improntati alle tradizioni più diverse: cristiana, induista, buddhista, islamica e altro ancora, passando per una grande varietà di origini, tradizioni e fondatori. Questo libro traccia, per quanto possibile, ...
Il «pensiero snello» non è e non può essere ridotto a banale metodologia organizzativa e questo volume ci spiega perché. L'approccio della «lean production» e del Toyota production System è una vera e propria filosofia che affonda le radici nello zen. Affinché il «lean thinking» dia i suoi frutti occorre andare in profondità e scoprirne le origini filosofiche e culturali, perché solo così la dimensione applicativa potrà incarnare una nuova ed efficace cultura d'impresa. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}
